Chapter 797: The General Trend (24)

"Rest assured, Brother Xian, with my old Cheng here, the King of Han will always give us three points of face, let's make some more contributions, it's not easy to get rich and rich?

The virtuous brother took a look at Xu Maogong's house, he showed off his power under the pass, he had nothing to do with the King of Han, it can be seen that the King of Han is still the same as he was back then, and he cherishes his talents very much. ”

Even if Qin Qiong was skeptical of Cheng Beard's words, he could only smile at this time, otherwise what else could he do? Of course, the two have been friends for many years, and he instinctively feels that Cheng Dabeard's words are not true, but there is no way to expose them, so he can only be secretly vigilant.

Among the people of Henan, Qin Qiong is a well-deserved leader.

In fact, no matter where this person goes, he is the best among people, when he was under Zhang Xutuo, he was valued by Zhang Xutuo, and after returning to Li Mi, Li Mi believed it without doubt.

When Wang Shichong came here, Wang Shichong was also very courteous, and even appointed him as one of the commanders of his own pro-army.

And since the Tang Dynasty, Li Jiancheng also values him very much, if it weren't for the fact that the people of Henan are always picking quarrels and provoking troubles, and they are overwhelmed, otherwise, Qin Qiong would easily be able to find a good position in the East Palace.

Qin Qiong, who was affected, did not complain, and asked to restrain Henan from surrendering, which made Li Jiancheng very pleased.

This person can not only give advice to himself, but also share worries repeatedly, and it is rare to be anxious about people's difficulties.

What he didn't know was that his predecessors almost all thought so, but the final result was difficult to say, because Qin Qiong had never had the blood of the old master on his hands, but as long as the old master died, he would be able to change the court immediately.

Frequently switching from the two roles of officials and bandits, and naturally eating and drinking, except for Cheng Zhijie, the beard, the rest of the eyes are slightly insufficient, and they can't keep up with the pace of others at all.

Even when Lu Bu, a slave with the third surname, faced this one, it was estimated that except for the force value, the rest was useless.

It can be said that Li Jiancheng trusts Qin Qiong very much, because the Henan people in Tongguan are under the suppression of Qin Qiong and Cheng Zhijie, although there are constant small troubles, it is different from when Li Junxian almost mutiny before, and the military spirit is quite stable.

And when the Jin army crossed the river like lightning to occupy Feng Yi, and took Huayin lightly, completely cutting off the connection between Tongguan and Chang'an and other departments along the river, Tongguan was blinded up and down.

With Li Jiancheng's style, I just had a meeting here, and I want to study whether the Jin army will go to the rescue when it attacks Feng Yi, and whether the Jin army in front of me is bluffing, looking at the fact that there are quite a lot of people, or let's wait and see what happens as usual, anyway, King Qin will not let Feng Yi fall into the hands of the Jin army.

After all, Li Shenfu was a party of King Qin...... But there was already news of the fall of Huayin.

The strategic environment of Tongguan became bad all of a sudden, and the reason why Tongguan is called a pass rather than a city is because the terrain here is dangerous, which is conducive to the garrison of large soldiers, but it is not suitable for people to live.

In addition, Tongguan is not external to the inside, the east is strong, but the west is much looser.

When Qu Tutong led his troops to garrison Tongguan, when Li Yuan led the army to cross the river, Tongguan lost most of its role, and in fact, Tongguan was soon lost, and it was broken from the west.

Under the enemy's back, the Tongguan defenders panicked, and when Li Jiancheng convened everyone to discuss the military again, the messy suggestions disappeared at once.

In addition to scolding Li Shenfu for his incompetence, there is only one way to go.

Under the bad news, Li Jiancheng couldn't believe that Henan in Guanzhong descended people, and the place where they were stationed was originally in the east, which was controlled by the crown prince Zhan Shi Li Gang, Qin Qiong, Cheng Zhijie and other deputies.

In these days, they began to move them frequently, for example, Qin Qiong and Cheng Zhijie were separated, one in the east and the other in the west, and they got together to drink at this time, which was a real violation of military orders.

The rest of the people, such as Hao Xiaode, Wu Heimin, Yang Defang and others, were all transferred away and scattered all over Tongguan, and the big guys actually understood that this was to prevent them from leading troops into chaos.

They were naturally very annoyed, feeling that if Li Da couldn't trust them, just let them go, why should they despise heroes so much.

Most of them were thinking, if it weren't for the urgency of the Emperor's attack that day, how could we come to Li Yuan?

Well, it is inevitable that the people of Henan will be unstable, and at today's point, no matter whether you treat them well or badly, as long as there is a little wind and grass, these people will inevitably be shocked, and then whether they will go up or turn around and run, it all depends on where the wind comes from......

This is an inevitable event, not an accident, just like Li Po, who is in Chang'an, is very sure that there is no need to attack at all, Tongguan must first mess up.

For example, Xu Shiji and Zhang Liang dared to attack Li Shentong's Chinese army in front of the battle, and the logic of the behavior of the Henan generals in these years can be seen from this.

In any case, Qin Qiong's prestige among the people in Henan ...... Well, at least don't think about being a second person among the generals in Tongguan, even if it is this guy and Cheng Zhijie who sold everyone to Li Yuan.

But after Li Jiancheng was lowered, Qin Qiong and Qin Shubao were the best, and the big guys naturally took him as the leader.

At the end of the temptation, Qin Qiong and Cheng Zhijie finally talked together, just like they had escaped from Wang Shichong's army to surrender Li Jiancheng before, the two of them lowered their voices, and began to make plans one by one.

They are already very experienced in this rhythm, and there is no psychological burden at all when they do more than that.

It's just that this time Cheng Zhijie is a little different from the past, and it will be better to offer the pass or capture Li Jiancheng, or even both.

Qin Qiong is not very willing to take risks, his rhetoric is similar to the past, the crown prince Li Jiancheng is not bad to his brother, and he can barely sacrifice the pass, after all, the general trend is like this, and he is forced to be helpless, but leading the troops to find Li Jiancheng's bad luck is very unkind, and he is suspected of ingratitude.

Even Cheng Zhijie, who is as thick-skinned as the city wall, is a little blushing for this guy at this time, you said that you are afraid that when you beat Li Jiancheng's idea, you will be slaughtered by Li Jiancheng's henchmen, we can still discuss it, but you are ungrateful to me?

Don't talk about others, Duke Wei or Emperor Wang listened to it, do you want to go back to your soul and theorize with you Qin Dalang? And did Pei Renji also die very unjustly?

So, Cheng Zhijie spent a lot of time to persuade Qin Qiong to nod, and in the end, when Lao Cheng, who was not drunk, but had a dry mouth, left Qin Qiong's residence, he looked back and thought about it carefully, and immediately began to scold his mother.

It's still the same as when I was at the beginning, the bad guys let me be the one, and Qin Shubao is still the kind-hearted Qin Dalang who talks about brotherly righteousness.

This is just that only the two of them discussed each other in private, if there are still others on the side, it is estimated that Qin Qiong will only agree if everyone comes forward to persuade each other.

Cheng Dabeard left depressed, you said that Qin Qiong invited him over to discuss things, and in the end...... After that, even if the big guy gets things done, the mastermind will definitely be him Cheng Dalang.

Qin Qiong just couldn't bear to raise it, so he was forced to go with it, you see, this is the gap, Cheng Dabeard has a lot of eyes, so he can naturally understand the truth, where is he happy in his heart?

…………………………………

Since the fall of Huayin, the news of the fall of Chang'an has been circulating in Tongguan, even if there is the best efforts of the prince's henchmen, it is inevitable that the army's morale will be shaken.

That's right, at this juncture, not only the people in Henan are ready to move, but the other defender generals are also panicking.

On the other side of Tongguan, there are also two people sitting opposite each other.

Just take a look, the bearing of these two people and Qin Qiong, Cheng Zhijie's generation completely belong to the people of the two worlds.

A man is forty or fifty years old, but his spirit is good, sitting there, his posture is as straight as loose, his hands are on his lower abdomen, his eyes are clear, and he is awe-inspiring as a big guest, and he knows that he is a disciple of the Kong family at a glance.

Another thirty-year-old, light robe with a slow belt, long figure, handsome face, in addition to the smell of books, the traces of military service are also very heavy.

These two people are not only in Tongguan, but even in Chang'an, Xijing, they are famous figures.

The old man is called Wang Qi, Li Po's hometown, a native of Fufeng County, and his ancestral home is Taiyuan.

This man's experience is legendary, he is the grandson of the famous minister of Southern Liang, Wang Shengbi, after the fall of Southern Liang, the family gradually integrated into the Kansai Shiwang.

This person first entered the former Sui secretary introspection, for the Taichang Zhi Lilang, and later was implicated by the Han King Yang forgiveness, fled to the mountains and lived in seclusion for more than ten years, during which it is said to be good friends with Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling and others, and I don't know whether it is true or false, who will go to the mountains to visit him often, is it idle?

Moreover, it was the crown prince Li Jiancheng who heard about his talent and recruited into the East Palace as an official, if he had made friends with Fang Du, he should have entered the Qin Palace, right?

Wang Jue not only observes courtesy, but also occupies a place in the Kansai literary circle, with a good reputation, Li Jiancheng respects him very much, and now he is the prince Zhongyun, participating in secrets, drafting documents, and is one of the backbone figures in the prince's party.

The other person is not bad, Wei Ting is also, Wei's Yongzhou is a long-term lineage, Wei's father, the origin of the price is needless to say here.

He is also a staunch prince's party, when he was the prince's left guard hussar, and the prince's left guard rate was inspected, for today's prince Li Jiancheng, he is much more important than Wang Qi.

But Wei Ting was also unlucky, before going out with Sang Xianhe, in the battle of Fengling Ferry, he was broken by the enemy, Sang Xianhe fled faster, Wei Ting became the rear of the palace because of the location, almost no one held it, and fled back to Tongguan in embarrassment, suffered some injuries, and barely recovered after a winter.

Therefore, Wei Ting's complexion is still not very good at this time, if it is not for the military emergency, and the prince also needs him very much to communicate with the Wei family in the court, so as not to completely fall to the side of King Qin, otherwise, he should have returned to Beijing to recuperate from his injuries.

The two of them sat across the desk, there was no wine or food on the case, only the tea soup was steaming, this was Wei Ting's residence, looking at Wang Qi, who was much older than himself, Wei Ting secretly guessed his intention.
